Default R.I.P. Felix Macedo

a good friend of mine passed away yesterday at around 6:30pm.

he died literally 2 blocks away from my house when a car cut hit him and sent him into a pole. he was not wearing a helmet so he died on impact.



Felix man, may u rest in peace bro, we'll ride again in heaven!

+1 on that.

Sucks to hear, but you wanna be an idiot and ride without a lid knowing there are a bunch of dumb ass cagers running around then its your fault for not protecting yourself.

Sorry about your loss man... I wear a helmet even if just going around the block with my kids.

I'm under no illusion, people want to see my face while I ride the bike
